My name is Lauren McElhinney, and I am from Dedham, Massachusetts. I am currently a junior at Merrimack College studying English.
I have journeyed from business school to majoring in English. Because of the pandemic, I have been able to find a career that fulfills me and allows me to enjoy every second of my work.
After graduation, I plan to go to graduate school for Higher Education Administration and Social Policy. I am very passionate about adolescents having equitable opportunities in the classroom and enjoying their education as much as possible.
I enjoy reading, writing, and tutoring, and am satisfied when helping my peers in the classroom.
